Wine Glass Tags

Some of theses are really great! Some not so much…like that wine glass holder necklace and the wine screwdriver. Just plain lazy and unnecessary.

I love the dated wine stopper though!

Actually the necklace one is very handy. If you have ever been to a wine and food festival you would see the benefit. It’s an all day event and carrying the glass around all day gets cumbersome. It’s also good to have free hands to eat when there are no tables to set the glass down on. That being said, They have been around for at least 8 years because that’s when I saw them at the Pennsylvania wine and food festival. Same with the screwdriver. My brother in law has a wine tasting party every year that’s pretty large. We go through about 30 bottles of wine. He doesn’t have the drill but he does have an electric corkscrew.

It all depends on the purpose. For one bottle of wine at dinner then yeah, pretty lazy.

@PauL B:
You might want to follow the link, the crazy dutch people made an oil & vinegar set based on upside down glasses, toxel just didn’t mention that.

@PauL B the ‘upside down one’ is actually a bottle, for oil/vinegar, with what looks like the base being used as a stopper.

Most of this stuff is pretty cool! I really like the dated wine bottle stopper. I also have an electric wine bottle opener. Love It!!!

If the upside down glass one is supposed to be a decanter, shouldn’t it have a larger opening so that the wine can be allowed to breath more readily? Also, isn’t the stopper unnecessary since, once decanted, the entire bottle should be consumed?

Those of you who think the lanyard is stupid obviously don’t go to any wine festivals. They are extremely handy and when my husband and I use them EVERYONE asks where we got it b/c they all want one. Only saying…

A few of these are not only cool but - here’s a surprise - extremely useful, notably the label remover (first saw one in Tokyo two years ago), the glass tags and, if it actually takes the temperature not of the bottle but the wine in it, the thermometer.

Things like the dated wine stopper seem to be designed by people who actually drinks wine.
Not like the good enough for parties gadjets.

To those of you who DONT think the lanyard is stupid, there are much more elegant solutions to your problem. Run a google search for wine glass hors d’oeuvres plates. Theres a ton of them, probably some on toxel too.

@Mike

You don’t Understand a festival. The Idea is not only keeping your hands free for food but also a convenient way to carry around the glass while empty.

The plates are good but as you move around now you are carrying two things.

The upside down wine glass reminds me more of a volumetric flask from my chemistry lab. It totally makes me want to go out and buy a bunch of chemistry glassware!

Dated wine stopper? Either you opened the wine yesterday, or you have a bottle full of oxidized swill.

I’ll chime in on the lanyard too; would have LOVED to have had one of these at the last tasting. I was making notes to take back to my boss on which wines and beers we were going to carry and let me tell you… trying to manage a wine glass while trying to write notes is not easy. I just may need to get one of those.
